This elf world is a bit strange

Although it was not as perfect as before, Firion did not force it and ended the practice when the dream demon felt a little tired.

After a short rest, they have a more important task today: to visit Firio's homeroom teacher and training teacher at school, Milia, a senior intermediate trainer, and study advanced energy blocks with her.

The bicycle moved slowly along the path. The sweet laughter and humming of the little dream fairy floated in the air, and Firio would join in from time to time.

Chapter 15 Reverse Derivation of Formula

"Ding Dong"

Not far from the Sara Academy, in front of a house that was not luxurious but very exquisite, Firio rang the doorbell.

"dong dong dong"

"Come on, come on! Is that Firio?"

Along with the sound of footsteps on the wooden floor, a cheerful female voice came closer and closer, and one could hear a hint of joy.

"squeak"

The thick door opened, revealing the owner of the voice, a tall and plump blonde beauty who looked to be in her twenties or thirties.

The light pink short dress is paired with black tights, which is both playful and mature. The two contradictory styles are intertwined, and only the person in front of you can control it without making people feel abrupt and conflicting.

"Good morning, Teacher Milia. Sorry to bother you! I'll stay here for lunch!"

Firio greeted his homeroom teacher with a smile.

"Come in quickly, Firion. The room is a little messy and I haven't cleaned it up yet. It's not your first time here. We're all family. Go find something to drink in the refrigerator and get me one too. I'll fix the machine and I'll be right back. What do you want to eat for lunch?"

After opening the door, Millia hurried back, talking as she ran, obviously not treating Firio as an outsider at all.

By the end, because he had run so far away, even his voice was not clear.

The black step-on socks, the smooth pink and white soles and toes, collided with the clean wooden floor, making a sound that was neither dull nor crisp.

In the living room, a chubby wind balloon slowly floated out, with four ribbons swaying at the same time, and two small red eyes filled with smiles.

"Good morning, Suifengqiu. Dream demon, I've missed you a little. Let me see if Teacher Milia is watching a romantic comedy again."

Closing the door gently, Filio was already aware of his teacher's reckless nature, so he went to the refrigerator to get some drinks, smiled and patted Suifengqiu's big round head, then went to the living room.

Sure enough, there was a popular romantic comedy on TV, starring two young people whom Filio didn't know.

"Even though you can't tell from her appearance, Teacher Milia is already over 30 years old. She has never been in a relationship and she loves watching romantic comedies? Isn't this a bit... random?"

Holding his chin lightly, Firio finished his complaint halfway, leaving some room for the wind ball to play.

"Laiduo! Laiduo~"

Like a magic trick, Suifengqiu pulled out a photo of a tall and plump red-haired girl with glasses from the corner of his drawer and completed the winning move.

"Machiヾ(≧▽≦*)o"

Looking at Firion and Suifengqiu who always teased each other every time they met, the little dream demon laughed in a very unkind way.

"You two guys! You're only in your thirties! I'm only thirty!"

The room was filled with a happy atmosphere when Milia, who had just adjusted the equipment, appeared with murderous intent.

Having been with Firio for several years, how could she not know what kind of things would happen when her partner and her student got together?

When she heard the little dream demon's laughter from afar, she felt her fists stiffen.

"Boom"

"Boom"

"Bah"

-----------------

On the sofa, Firio and Suifengqiu sat side by side, each with a small bump on their head.

Milia took the drink that Firion brought out and took a few gulps. She suppressed her anger and started to speak:

"Can't you two learn some good lessons? Look at you, little Filio. You were such a lovely child two years ago. How did you become like this?"

"Madge!"

At first, Millia scolded Firio and Suifengqiu, who were standing at attention and taking the beating obediently, and the little dream demon followed suit.

"Even the little dream demon almost learned bad things from you two!"

"Madge?"

Then, the topic began to go off track, and the little dream demon silently floated up from above her head and flew into the air.

"You're actually comparing one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Alliance to me as a joke. Is that appropriate? Oh, but, is the King of Kona really that eager to get married?"

"Machi? Machiヾ(≧▽≦*)o"

Finally, seeing that Miria had returned to her old ways and started gossiping, the little dream demon immediately started to laugh at her mercilessly, and a joyful atmosphere filled the air.

Seeing that Miria's curiosity was aroused, Firio cleared his throat and said, "Teacher, 'The Ice Witch of the Four Islands' and 'The Strongest Flying King of Kanto' are both famous memes. I just don't know if the billiard boy from Johto who created this meme and didn't want to reveal his origin and identity is doing well now. It's true that there has been no updates from him for a while."

"Laiduo!"

Suifengqiu, who was holding a tablet computer in his hand, immediately responded and found the blogger who created these two memes, named "The Billiards Genius Who Likes Miss Walnut the Most".

"Really? This guy looks pretty brave! Oh, forget it, can you please stop talking about my sad story? I want to say that I'm still very young, don't look down on me! And little Filio, you've also been single since you were a child, so why are you qualified to criticize me?!"

After first looking at the blog homepage with interest, and then realizing that she had also been hinted at, Milia helplessly covered her face with her hands.

Firion said seriously: "Then let's get down to business, teacher. Just like last time, it's still the same two energy cubes."

-----------------

The teacher-student relationship between Firio and Milia is relatively special. In addition to being teacher-student, they also have a sense of being like-minded friends.

In school, Firio is the most proud student since Millia started teaching. He and Millia both have ghost-type Pokémon, so they get along very well. Millia is also very kind to Firio and often invites him to her home to give her private lessons and teach him some knowledge about breeding.

After spending a long time together, their interactions were not at all restrained, but instead were full of mutual jokes and teasing.

In private, Firion is as relaxed in front of Milia as he is in front of other friends, often making sharp and incisive comments. Recently, under the influence of Fengqiu, he has expanded the scope of his comments.

However, once they got down to business, the two were able to quickly collect their thoughts and refocus their attention.

As a direct disciple of Muriel, the principal of Sala College, Millia, who has inherited the true teachings of Muriel, the only senior cultivator in Sala, is also a leader among the intermediate cultivators.

She specializes in energy block configuration and elf food preparation. She has many high-quality intermediate formulas that are hot-selling in the surrounding areas of Sala. She is a real "rich woman" and an undoubted breeding expert.

At the same time, she became an intermediate breeder at the age of 22. After years of accumulation, she is also considered to be one of the strong candidates to pass the senior breeder assessment in the near future.

Firio's skills as a breeder were initially benefited from Miria's training. Otherwise, it would have been difficult for him to improve so quickly to where he is today just by reading books and his own practical exploration.

About a year ago, Filio reached the level of an intermediate breeder and gradually changed from a one-sided recipient to a communicator. The two of them started to have cooperative discussions regularly or irregularly, covering many aspects, especially the design and development of advanced formulas required by advanced breeders.

A common approach for this kind of research is to start by reverse-deriving existing formulas.

The combination of Millia's theoretical knowledge and Firio's analytical and operational abilities is more than the sum of its parts.

-----------------

"Teacher, I tasted a little bit in the breeding house of A Pei's family. I analyzed that the taste is better than last time, and the overall level should have reached a very good state for this recipe. So, today should be a good opportunity."

Taking out the box containing the ghost energy cube, Firio gently opened the lid, and a familiar aroma quickly spread.

"It's really good, integrated and not abrupt at all." Milia sniffed it briefly and quickly got to work. "Although we have said it many times, we still have to repeat it again. Such blocks must be patented. We can only learn and imitate them, but we can't sell them unless we design an improved formula."

"Don't worry, teacher. I know what I am doing. Although the money is not small, it is not enough to dazzle my eyes."

Firio nodded seriously. In this regard, he was also very principled. He did not seem like an outstanding young breeder who had not yet been exposed to much wealth. He was not dazzled by the potential huge profits and remained rational and sober, which made Millia feel more at ease.

After calming down, the two took out professional knives, cut off a very small piece from the corner of an energy cube, put it in their mouths, and savored it carefully.

At the same time, Firio's own superpowers were also tried to infiltrate the block as in the previous times, using his perception and analysis abilities to obtain information through his own knowledge and memory.

Two people, three dimensions and approaches jointly analyze the composition and proportion of this block, as well as the possible techniques used in the production process.

After many days of almost non-stop high-intensity study, Firio's knowledge reserves have been steadily improved, and the level of his superpowers based on cognitive abilities has also been increasing day by day.

At this moment, his eyes had become a little clearer from the mess he had seen about a year ago. He was gradually able to grasp all the fragmented information, some of which were conclusions drawn from previous experiments, and some of which were new feelings.

Gradually, the fragments began to fit together and a clue came into view.

Hidden beneath the complex taste and mixed composition, a name slowly emerged in his mind: Indigo Berry.

"Teacher, my opinion this time is different from last time. I think the auxiliary ingredient may be indigo berry, and the proportion is not low."

Without hesitation, Firio chose to trust his own judgment and decisively put forward this conjecture.

Miria was a little unsure: "But, the taste of this cube is complex, isn't this in line with the nature of indigo berries?"

Filio had thought about the teacher's concerns before, and now it seems that the conclusion is about to come out. He nodded and began his own analysis: "First of all, there is no doubt that in this energy cube, the bergamot fruit is the main ingredient. Then, we will find that its sour taste has been neutralized and turned into a complex fragrance hidden under the cottony taste. Therefore, I think it uses indigo fruit to neutralize the sour taste with sweetness. Then, as a very minor auxiliary ingredient, this formula adds two very common general-purpose tree fruits, apple fruit and orange fruit, to achieve the harmony of taste, taste and energy. Because they are both unimportant and common, we have always found it difficult to discover. Moreover, I think this is also the limitation of this formula."

"Apple fruit, orange fruit..." Miria whispered while thinking, the beauty spot on her lips trembled slightly, "From the perspective of taste, adding a small amount of apple fruit and orange fruit can indeed create this style, and then using indigo fruit to neutralize the taste... Well, it's worth a try. Moreover, the method he used should also be very traditional, and it is more reflected in the creativity of the proportions."

Thinking of this, Milia stood up decisively: "Come on, Filio, let's go to the cold storage. No matter if it works or not, let's take it out first and use it. We saved a lot of tree fruits last time. I froze them and preserved them. There is no problem using them for experiments."

"Teacher, let me go. It's a bit troublesome for you to go out in this outfit. Little Dream Demon, Suifeng Ball, let's go."

Pressing Milia's shoulder, Firio took the lead, walked out quickly, put on his coat, and went straight to the small cold storage in the backyard.

-----------------

The cart returned with the full load of materials, which were placed in special instruments for thawing in batches, and the experiment officially began.

After determining the basic composition, although the proportions are not clear yet, the experiment can be tried. Start by modulating the energy blocks according to the common proportions of 60%, 20%, 10%, and 10%.

As expected, the energy cubes that were configured for the first time were, in terms of quality, at best the most common primary energy cubes, and their quality was not much different from those sold in the Friendship Store. However, what surprised the two was that, although there were still many problems, its taste was indeed similar to that of this high-level energy.

Hidden beneath the strong sour taste is a complex aroma, which, although faint, was accurately captured by the two people with keen senses.

"This is it."

"I guessed it right."

The two looked at each other and spoke at the same time.

-----------------

Now that we have the composition, all that remains is the proportion.

The strong sour taste needs to be neutralized by sweetness. Under this composition, this is the only answer. Therefore, the two began to increase the proportion of indigo berries and moderately reduce the use of other tree fruits.

Second round of trials.

The third round of experiments.

Round 4...

......

......

The two of them, along with Dream Demon and Wind Ball, took a sip and spit it out, then rinsed their mouths and analyzed the differences between each round.

On the small white board next to the machine, one ratio after another was marked with a red cross.

The originally planned lunch ended up being a quick affair after both of them lost interest.

After a whole day of experiments, a large number of high-quality tree fruits turned into stacks of boxes filled with discarded energy cubes.

Among them, the better ones are at the level of ordinary intermediate energy blocks, but the cost is much higher than that of intermediate energy blocks; the worst ones cannot even be sold in the Friendship Store.

"Well... first of all, the main ingredient, bergamot fruit, cannot be reduced, but the indigo fruit has been increased to 30%. It doesn't make sense to reduce it further..."

Milia's face was full of fatigue. Making energy cubes was never an easy job, but required a high degree of concentration. Although Firion was the main force today, Milia also exhausted her energy in material preparation and solution design.

"Forget it! Not today!" Miria stood up, put her hands on her waist, and massaged her already sore waist muscles. She backed out. "I'll take these scrapped cubes and sell them at a low price. They will count as our public account for buying tree fruits next time. After the account is settled, we will split it in half. It's not much anyway...Are you free tomorrow? Come again?"

Firion looked at the few remaining raw materials and felt his own condition. He wanted to try again.

"Why, do you still have energy left?"

Milia saw what her beloved disciple was thinking and asked.

Filio nodded slightly: "Yes, teacher, I have a new idea. In a sense, maybe we are wrong: why do we regard the apple and orange as the proportion of 'two' ingredients? If we regard them as one, maybe it will be different."

"You mean... three?"

Listening to Firio's thoughts, Milia's eyes suddenly lit up.
